Warning
SafetyGuidelines forPersonal SafetyandEquipmentProtection
The following guidelines ensure your safety and protect the equipment. This list does not include all the
potentially hazardous situations. Therefore, you must be alert.
• Before moving the system, always disconnect all power cords and interface cables.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Before and after installation, keep the chassis area clean and dust free.
• Keep tools and assembly components away from walk areas where you or others could trip over them.
• Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
• Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
• Do not wear loose clothing that may get caught in the chassis.
• When working under conditions that may be hazardous to your eyes, wear safety glasses.

Safety Warnings
Safety Guidelines for Personal Safety and Equipment Protection

Safety with Electricity
Before working on a chassis or with power supplies, unplug the power cord on AC units. Disconnect the
power at the circuit breaker on DC units. Statement 12
Warning
Before working on equipment that is connected to power lines, remove jewelry (including rings, necklaces,
and watches). Metal objects heat up when connected to power and ground and can cause serious burns or
weld the metal object to the terminals. Statement 43
Warning
Avoid using or servicing any equipment that has outdoor connections during an electrical storm. There may
be a risk of electric shock from lightning. Statement 1088
Warning
Read the installation instructions before connecting the system to the power source. Statement 1004
Warning
When you connect or disconnect the power and relay connector with power applied, an electrical arc can
occur. This action can cause an explosion in hazardous area installations. Be sure that power is removed from
the switch and alarm circuit. Be sure that power cannot be accidentally turned on or verify that the area is
nonhazardous before proceeding. Failure to securely tighten the power and relay connector captive screws
can result in an electrical arc if the connector is accidentally removed. Statement 1058
Warning
The plug-socket combination must be accessible always, because it serves as the main disconnecting device.
Statement 1019
Warning
This equipment must be grounded. Never defeat the ground conductor or operate the equipment in the absence
of a suitably installed ground conductor. Contact the appropriate electrical inspection authority or an electrician
if you are uncertain that suitable grounding is available. Statement 1024
Warning
This unit may have more than one power supply connection. All connections must be removed to de-energize
the unit. Statement 1028

Safety Warnings
Safety with Electricity

This product requires short-circuit (overturned) protection, to be provided as part of the building installation.
Install only in accordance with national and local wiring regulations. Statement 1045
Warning
When installing or replacing the unit, ensure the ground connection first and disconnected last. Statement
1046
Warning
When you connect or disconnect the power and/or alarm connector with power applied, an electrical arc can
occur. This could cause an explosion in hazardous area installations. Be sure that all power is removed from
the switch and any other circuits. Be sure that power cannot be accidentally turned on or verify that the area
is nonhazardous before proceeding. Statement 1058
Warning
This equipment is intended to be grounded to comply with emission and immunity requirements. Ensure that
the switch functional ground lug is connected to earth ground during normal use. Statement 1064
Warning
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes. Statement 1074
Warning
When working on equipment that is powered by electricity, follow these guidelines:
• Locate the room’s emergency power-off switch. If an electrical accident occurs, you know where to
quickly turn off the power.
• Before starting work on the system, turn off the DC main circuit breaker and disconnect the power
terminal block cable.
• Disconnect all power when:
• Working on or near power supplies
• Installing or removing a device chassis or network processor module
• Performing most hardware upgrades
• Never install equipment that appears damaged.
•Carefully examine your work area for possible hazards, such as moist floors, ungrounded power extension
cables, and missing safety grounds.
• Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check.
• Never perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the equipment unsafe.
• If an electrical accident occurs and you are uninjured:
• Use caution to avoid injuring yourself.
• Turn off power to the device.
